Martha Wainwright

MOGStars: 8 out of 10   It’s hard to believe that latest release I Know You’re Married But I've Feelings Too is only Martha Wainwright’s second full album – collaborations with artists ranging from brother Rufus to Snow Patrol, the Canadian-American songstress has firmly established herself with the music scene. And securing assistance on this record from (amongst others) Pete Townshend and Donald Fagen, this record is unlikely to loose her that place.   Although lack... MORE

Oh MOG, it's been too long. Hemingway, regarding the new Martha Wainwright album.  I really, really, really like it.  The problem is, I like the first two songs SO much, I don't usually make it past them.  That is a problem to be sure. "Bleeding All Over You" - in a way reminds me of Rufus' "Greek Song", but I'm not sure why.  Persnaps it is the beat.  No, actually, I just listened to "Greek Song" and they are not as similar as I thought.  Anyway, it still reminds me of ...

 In a recent interview with BBC radio, one could almost hear the audible sigh as Martha fielded the inevitable family lineage questions that seem to haunt her very appearance in a room full of hacks. Unlike any of the Wainwright’s, the 32 year old singer/songwriter has the burden of association, and no ‘brush off’ or diversionary tactics can avoid the "What was Louden like?", or "What about your brother’s view on…?" questions. Her self titled debut album from 2006 proba... MORE

No, not really, but I couldn't resist the title in view of recent events. I'm currently writing up a review of Martha Wainwright's new album "I Know You're Married, But I've Got Feelings Too". Early signs are that it is at least as good as her debut, if not better. Knock It Back!

I really like this new song by Martha Wainwright -- it's free on Amazon as an mp3 download right now, too.  Also dig the album cover.

I was looking for a song about assholes this morning and I found I had 3 with that word in the title. I noticed that Martha Wainwright's song "Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole" was in the 2008 SXSW Showcasing Artists group. I forgot all about her 2005 self-titled album. I really quite liked it. I know every post and article has to mention that she is Rufus Wainwright's sister and daughter of Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle so I'm doing it too. Did you know that... MORE

Martha Wainwright, sister to Rufus and daughter to Loudon, will release her sophomore album I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too on June 10th, 2008. The racy titled album and follow-up to her 2005 self-titled effort also sports some heavy names. Pete Townshend, the Band's Garth Hudson, and Steely Dan's Donald Fagen, along with her family Rufus, mother Kate McGarrigle, aunt Anna McGarrigle, and first cousin Lily Lanken all contribute to the new 14-track effort...

It was an entertainment twi-night double-header to remember on Friday. And not just because of the good stuff, which was plentiful. First, I caught a late afternoon screening of the surreal Bob Dylan tribute/biopic “I’m Not There,” which was a trip and a half, with multiple actors playing different elements of the American folk-rock icon’s personality during different stages of his life. It’s interesting to note that filmmaker Todd Haynes chose stars associated with the ... MORE

this is a dreamy song with a smidge rural taste.

You ever have a weekend that breaks your heart? A feeling that everything that is good in your life you fuck up? And no amount of drink or whatever fixes it. I just got through a weekend full of lost love and darkness. And perhaps Martha went through some similar times. There nothing easy about being an adult.

My dear extended MOG family,my iPod is gone. This is the sort of misfortune that wants to prompt a wailor a "why" times five thousandbut as the fuse of my frantic panicache reaches its brittle peacethe broken opussettles on a 48 measure restof tell all silencebecause any effort to wave a fistis futile. It is not coming back. I don't think anyone quite understands what this means to me.I can't complain to my friends becausea) I don't want to spread the negat... MORE

I cant help thinking I missed the initial boom. I remember reading about Martha Wainwright, and even sorta thinking I should give her a spin or 2... but sitting here now, listening to "Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole" I can't help hoping that this is the new face of folk/alt country music... its just plain great.
